The story behind the V: How a letter came to mean much more than a name

What started as a location became a symbol – of freedom, welcome, and doing things with heart.
Hotel V & The Lobby is a family-run business, 12 generations and counting, shaped by a deep-rooted love for Amsterdam’s authentic and inspiring character. With three hotels and two café-restaurants – Hotel V Frederiksplein, Hotel V Nesplein, Hotel V Fizeaustraat, The Lobby Fizeaustraat, and The Lobby Nesplein – we bring the local experience to life. A place to move, drink, eat, and taste the city as we do. Each location has its own character but shares the same dedication to craftsmanship and the signature warmth of V.
We are Amsterdammers, it’s in our blood, we want you to love our city like we do
Much Love. From Amsterdam.
The Lobby Fizeaustraat is all about quality, comfort, and atmosphere. A modern take on bistronomy, where classic French cuisine meets influences from Asia and Tel Aviv. Our chefs work with the best local suppliers – Lindenhoff farm, Kef cheeses, Karel Goudsblom’s bread, and fresh seafood from Jan Veerman – creating dishes that feel both refined and approachable. Expect beautifully prepared plates from our open kitchen, paired with a thoughtfully curated wine collection of 850 bottles (and counting). At The Lobby Fizeaustraat, we look after you like family – with earnest love and attention, never overdone.
Rub shoulders with Amsterdammers in their adopted locale. The Lobby Nesplein is known for its warm atmosphere, thoughtful service, and a menu that plays with tradition. Expect familiar flavors with a creative twist – rooted in classic European cuisine but with a bold Amsterdam edge. Seasonal ingredients from local producers shape our dishes, from rich and refined to playful and unexpected. Sink into a soft leather sofa by the fireplace, enjoy a glass of something good, and take your time. Whether you’re here for lunch, bites, or dinner, you’ll want to linger just a little longer.
At Hotel V, we believe good ideas need the right setting. Whether you’re meeting, dining, presenting, or celebrating – our spaces are made to inspire. From intimate dinners by the fireplace in the Private to lively events in The Palm.
East, nestled between the lively Amstel skyline and the calm of Watergraafsmeer, you’ll find our seventies-inspired wedding venue: Hotel V & The Lobby. Just a five-minute stroll from Amstel Station, our four-and-a-half-star hotel offers 91 rooms for guests who want to stay the night – and underground parking for added ease. Since 2019, we’ve been an official wedding location.
From the moment you get in touch to the last toast of the evening, we’re here to make it all feel natural. You’ll receive a tailor-made quote based on your wishes. Our events & location manager oversees every detail, our in-house stylist creates the look and feel, and with our executive chef, you can build a menu that truly reflects your taste.
